Non-fiction books that I have started but will not be finishing at this time
I do intend to put these back on my list at the library and finish them someday.
The stuff of thought : language as a window into human nature / by Pinker, Steven, 1954-
Interesting, but for some reason I cannot pay attention for more than a couple of pages at a time.
The death and life of great American cities / by Jacobs, Jane, 1916-
SO FASCINATING, but I must have more attention to devote to it. I think it is a book I should read in the winter.
Note that Ms. Jacobs died in 2006 (at almost 100!), but apparently her authority file has not been updated yet? I copied this directly from the record of the copy I have checked out at SPL.
The thing about life is that one day you’ll be dead /by Shields, David, 1956-
I like the writing, but it’s too depressing for now. I will work on being less anxious and worrying, and try it again then.
